Bubba’s Cooks Country
Three Piece Fried Chicken, Seasoned Fries, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
Yeast Roll
Cornbread
Cherry Cobbler
Created by Mary Beth and Paul “Bubba” Vinyard in 1981 Bubba’s Cooks Country has remained a Park Cities’ icon for four decades, glowing neon still greeting guests from 6:30am until 10:00pm daily at 6617 Hillcrest Avenue.
Once a Texaco station, but now home to Mary Beth’s timeless recipes and Art Deco décor, it is amidst pandemic precautions plus a labor shortage that Bubba’s is currently working as take-out only, though Southern hospitality and fair pricing remains unchanged.
Still family owned, a chain of “Babe’s Chicken Dinner House” also carrying on the Vinyard’s legacy, it is at prices minimally higher than Popeye’s that Bubba’s offers scratchmade goodness, the Chicken’s golden coating well spiced with a lot of crunch around tender white or dark meat.
Known for their Yeast Rolls, fluffy even an hour before closing, Cornbread is a little dry without the addition of Butter or Honey while Potatoes are tasty mashed with Gravy or fried crisp and seasoned.
Sold out of Banana Pudding late-Sunday, again “staffing” per the cashier, Cherry Cobbler is no less delicious thanks to juicy Fruit without a lot of extra Sugar mixed with Pie Crust that’s loaded with Butter and nostalgia.
